Yes a security officer will definitely pay less than a police officer. As a security officer you are not required to get your criminal justice degree; however becoming a police officer requires one.

Security Police Job Career Possibilities?

Police security jobs are considered a desirable career path by many men and women. These jobs help to protect citizens from criminals, guard the interiors and exteriors of small and large companies, and provide private security for individuals. There are many career paths available in the security job sector and many of these occupations are closely related, which provides for a big possibility to transfer from one type of security job to another when it is needed or desired. Although public safety police officer jobs are just a little less than forty percent below the average pay for all national jobs posted on online job boards, beginning as a police officer can be a way to gain valuable security experience before advancing up the career ladder. Fifty thousand dollars per year is an approximate salary that police officers make across the nation. New individuals to the career field and with no formal college education will make significantly less until they gain seniority and work to advance up the ladder. Although police officers do not start out at a high pay scale, they do receive benefits that help to make the job more enticing. Paid life insurance, medical, health, vision, and dental are common benefits that many police officers receive. Because of these benefits, many people find it worth the effort to join a public community police force. Advancing up the ladder in a career field in police security can include advancing to detective, transferring to private security, and working to become an officer. Many times, individuals with a college education will be able to make officer or detective much quicker than workers who do not have official advanced education. Private police security jobs will often pay significantly more than public police officer jobs. Individuals will often be required to have formal police or military experience before being considered qualified to work in private security. Private security jobs can vary from being a bodyguard for celebrities and politicians to working as a mall or hospital security officer. The pay ranges depending upon job duties, required availability, experience, and education.

What is the security guard?

Contrary to popular belief, Security Officers do have authority, and in many cases they have just as much, if not more authority than a Police Officer. Security Officers are basically private police and in the olden days they were often referred to as this (ex: Coal Mine Police). A security company is contracted out by a client to protect 'usually' private property, so therefore they are the police of that property. This is why Security Officers often have more authority than Police Officers. Police have very limited authority on private property unless a warrant is issued by a judge. Also, in many states security companies will be contracted out by local governments to police their public areas. For example; in South Carolina every Security Officer has as much authority as a Police Officer and have the right to issue speeding tickets, arrests, etc. They also use blue lights on their vehicles instead of the usual yellow lights used by most Security Officers around the country. Security Officers often have serious, dangerous jobs much like police officers and they are here to accomplish the same goal which is to keep people, and property safe. So next time you want to bash a Security Officer; think twice.

Which is a better job fire or police?

There is no objective basis upon which to conclude that one of these jobs is better than the other, but if I had to choose I would say police, on the basis that police departments hire more people than fire departments; it takes more people to enforce the law than to put out fires, so from the perspective of career planning, you might find it easier to get a police job.
